@Joni-Elizabeth Thanks! And Zeke is a very friendly character, so I'm sure he would be friends with you as well

Really great work in here. It blows my mind some people are entering 3, I feel like I'm getting this ONE in under the wire.

I really liked how this turned out, but it was a challenge. If I could go back to the beginning of the month I would have started a thread here for more peer review. I did get some elsewhere, but this was definitely where I should have started. I also feel like I may have OVERrendered some. Anyway, I'm glad it's finished. Great prompt!!

@Chip-Valecek

This is my first time posting, so I hope it comes through all right. This prompt really motivated me. I haven't taken my watercolors out since the pandemic started (sooooo very long ago)...I had to keep pulling sodden dust bunnies off my brushes and paints as I worked on this. But here she is, Petal, leaf fairy traveler, along with her caterpillar.

Alrighty second entry!

[Kim Hunter]

Holy crackers! What an amazing bunch of entries this month. This post is where the agents and art directors should be looking. You all make their job easy.

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@jakecrowe love the rendering, nothing over about it!! Love the character! Good luck!

What is going on here? Way different vibe from the last few contests. Lets keep this creative energy going for next month. Please excuse the following lengthly list of shout outs.

@jdubz Nice incorporation of a selfie photo. I think we creators should remind ourselves our characters ought to mirror contemporary children's habits. Capybara is a great choice.
@Larue I'm getting aesops fables + Fantastic Mr.Fox vibe from your work. Nicely done.
@Tiffany-Thomas Your presentation sucessfully promotes a product to the viewer. I learned a lesson-of-the-day from your piece. TY.
@alicepelot I like your method in depicting the satyr's hair and fur, as well as the character's clean shape.
@chrisaakins We need more African fairy tales. Props on exploration.
@ruth OMGosh. This is giving me Don't Starve PTSD. Love it.
@CLCanadyArts Dinosaur! Neander-gob! I'm jealous?
@Jeremiahbrown Great presentation. The water-crossing shot really sold it for me. Potentially marketable to readers who live in flood-prone areas.
@avfarrar Thank you for the compliment. I have to confess that I "borrowed" the idea of dirty feet from the character Mebh from Wolfwalkers.
